What did you make today?

[Frmrspec]

Amazon 19mm ID 22mm OD cf tube, turned down carmatech nemesis epoxied inside, and made an aluminum back for it all to slip in nicely.. the back isn’t glued into place yet, need to get it anodized first. I made three more backs for more CF sleeved barrels.

[Frmrspec]

Bored out a Milsig breech to so end user could use larger diameter barrels (like the nemesis), also faced off the end and chamfered so it isn’t sharp

[Jordan]

Carbon fiber foregrip for my AutoIon... why should Mag guys get all the cool stuff?



I need to re-spring the Stab for LP operation yet but I think I'm going to run it like this.

[Alexndl]

The ultimate evolution of the AutoIon!

[Jordan]

I figured I'd go for as light as possible.... it'll give me a break from all the brass stuff once in a while.

[JeeperCreeper]

Well everything I did paintball related was more modifying than making, but I did make some gaskets for my lawn mower carb, the old school way.

[Jordan]

Nice! I had to do the same a few years ago, I have a reeeeeally old Homelite mower and couldn't find any carb or intake gaskets.

[JeeperCreeper]

I'm working on my new to me John Deere from around 1996

made this for a shop. Still need to install the locking pins but it’s an adjustable gas through 12gram plug for testing a TIPX (not meant to be used during play)… spring loaded to ensure contact with the face seal and account for product tolerances (injection molded plastic isn’t particularly consistent).

[Jordan]

Did some more work on my custom mongrel pump build... finished off the barrel, mounted the feedneck block, cut the feedhole.

Still need to drill/tap for a detent, create a barrel retaining setup of some kind, and verify operation. I'm hoping to have it completed for a pump day in two weeks... I should have most of the parts I need next weekend and the rest will show up from PPS eventually.

[Cal440]

Really like the look of the cf and the brass,and that pump handle. Who makes that pump handle?

[Jordan]

Cal440 - it's a Meteor pump kit off their new pump.

[XEMON]

Tested a new idea to locate the screw holes in the mold and it worked great. I need a few little clearance grind on the back side and they will be ready to find their permanent home 😁

[JeeperCreeper]

Will you be making more of these in the future?

[XEMON]

Maybe, I could be convinced ... copper casting is pure gambling 😅

[$L!mBo]

Did my first Stock class sniper conversion.

-Drilled thru the feedneck and twisted it off with a grade8 bolt.
-lined up the feedblock and drilled and tapped the hole
-chopped the feed down a bit

whole process was maybe 20 minutes.
surprised myself with how easy this was.
did some light tuning earlier and shes getting 30 solid shots @ ~275.

this set up feels so RIGHT
very stoked to get this one out on the field.

[Cal440]

Nice job on the conversion, looks like it could of come that way originally.

[Myrkul]

The SL-68 II needed a new pump handle to fit over the freak adapter, and I finally got a chance to tinker in my old man's shop and kick one out!









Super happy with how this turned out, still needs a bit of work to finish it in, but not much.

[$L!mBo]

awesome! earlier today i accidentally won an ebay listing for a Pro-Carbine i lowballed the best offer thinking there was no way theyd go for it.

[Jsc5150]

Freak adapter? Do tell

[Myrkul]

@J8c5150

Slip fit on the back, cocker threads on the front, bored so that you can run a regular freak back and a freak XL Inserts. BMC got the spacing on it worked out so that the insert sits too far forward for the bolt to grab it and pull it back.

[Jordan]

In my ongoing quest to have as much brass on my Trilly build as possible, I grabbed a Shocktech LPC off ACP.com and gambled that it used the same threads as a WGP ram... they do. 🙂 (I also made a brass Rock knob but that was awhile ago.)

I drilled through from the inside and tapped it for a 10-32 setscrew - just like the Shocktech setup - which also blocks off the barb hole. A bit of polishing later and voilà.

[Meleager7]

hmmm.....needs a brass trigger shoe !!

[Jordan]

Meleager7 - they're hard to find! Same with brass detents... no one makes 'em, it seems.

[Frmrspec]

Got this adapter for an AR.. had to modify it to fit my paintball stuff. Milled off the back and drilled/tapped for bottomline

[Frmrspec]

Driven arms, funny… they had them in stock but shortly after I posted they are now out of stock. But more are in process and should be back from ano soon

[Jordan]

There's some back in stock... bought one today, I'm planning on putting it on my Hurricane to replace the Eurogrip I currently have on it.

[Frmrspec]

Aaaaand they’re out again lol

[Jordan]

Palmers is out of stock on their ASA collars and I needed one for my Typhoon after I converted it back from it's Hurricane format, so I finally got to it last night.

Brass, of course - I don't have access to a lathe or mill so brass tubing is the easiest thing for me to work on with the tools at my disposal.

[Cal440]

Looks good as usual Jordan, does that collar support the regulator as well as fill in the gap between it and the lower tube?

[Jordan]

Cal440 yessir.

[The Great Equalizer]

Magfed autococker, looks cool. FYI your YouTube links have broken thumbnails. This might be the first time I've seen shorts links posted, so maybe it only happens with YouTube Shorts?

[Frmrspec]

It may not have been painfully obvious what I made last week but here’s a pic after I hacked off some more weight.

[Frmrspec]

Another mock up to make it even more obvious
